There are two kinds of actuators that vary depending on their use. It is made primarily of goods currently available on the market, but some portions have been modified. The gears were created by JVC.

As for it’s role in your life, JVC commented that with camcorders and home theater equipment becoming increasingly complex, consumers could use J4 as a robotic universal remote. Which is kind of a silly answer, considering a gorgeous little cherry red robot like this needs no more purpose than looking cool.

Besides the universal remote idea, JVC could market the J4 as an all-purpose electronics gadget: an alarm clock, email reader, weather forcaster, mp3 player, and home surveillance system.

Unfortunately they don’t have any plans to actually market the J4, which comes as a sad blow to robot enthusiasts everywhere. With news all dried up, one can only wonder if and when we’ll ever see him again.
